Just a thought,
Why not put all datasets in a sequential file. Which is then used as input to
your process
Then your process could do
Read input list of files
Do Loop until Input all read
Open file
Search file
If match - do Something
Close file
End loop
Keep going through as many datasets that are in your input file. Or is this
something you are doing already?
Why waste JCL space?

PS I know nothing about what you are doing, so this is just a suggestion. All
thoughts are my own

Subject: Re: SVC 99 unallocating a concatenated dataset
You may be right
Was doing it in assembler
Because that’s the language used
But whatever works
Thanks
PS my code was proceeded by a call IGGCSI00 to get the dataset names
